ETHOS 1.5 and G-RXx Receivers should startup at zero or last altitude #3538

Open spoke2570 opened 4 months ago

spoke2570 commented 4 months ago

Currently the when a model is loaded the FrSky built in altimeter jumps to some value that is not the last registered when the model was unloaded or the radio turned off. The few receivers I have all give quite different values at power up. The range of start altitude for my inventory is like 50 to 170 meters. It would be nice for this to be zero meters.

Thanks!

The GR receivers e.g. GR8 I use have done this since I started using them.
My automatic work around is to use a logic switch to detect the rise of receiver battery voltage via the telemetry and then to initiate a Special Function reset for a few seconds to the receiver altimeter. Alternatively, it can be manually reset with a switch. I agree it would be better for the receiver to register 0m at power on. I've just got used to it I guess.

Basically how it is handed in my radio, now. That and to make sure that the volume is off on the vario when I load a model.
